The S Series of RAM Audio amplifiers distils all these features to fulfill all your needs, whether youʼre starting a P.A. amplifier project from scratch, or you need to upgrade your present sound reinforcement equipment.

In the S Series amps, you'll find five 2-channel models and five 4-channel models, all offering plentiful power levels at low distortion in the range of 1.5 to 6 kilowatts, yet weighing in around 8 kilos and 30 cm deep.

• Ultra-compact and lightweight 2-U high
• Laser cut aluminum front panels with integrated carrying handles
• Neutrik® XLR input connectors, input and signal link in 2 channel models
• Input Link switch: allow daisy-chaining of the input signal
• Neutrik® Speakon® output connectors
• Detented sealed potentiometers for easy recall of volume settings
• ICL™, PMS™, Hi-temp, Signal indicators per channel
• Power on and Stand-by leds
• Highly versatile with multiple configuration and additional module options
• Full PC control via EtheRAM (with EtheRAM Control module)
• Switchable ICL™ clip-limiters per channel
• Switchable (30-50 Hz) sub-sonic highpass filter per channel
• Three-position gain selector (26, 32 or 38 dB)
• Dual or bridge mode selector
• Twin temperature controlled, back to front cooling fans
• Oversized power components (high SOA reserve specification)
Standard Signal Inputs Module: The S Series amps are equipped as standard with twin Neutrik® XLR, doubled by two other XLR connectors for linking purposes. In the 4 Channel models an XLR input per channel is provided with the signal linking facility.

Analog Processor Module: permits a very easy, user-friendly signal processing to enable the amp to set up a bi-amp system without any other outboard device. These are the Processor's main characteristics:
• 2-way stereo crossover (dual mono or single bridged sub output)
• 24dB/oct Linkwitz-Riley configurable crossover (90, 100 o 120Hz)
• Adjustable attenuation in the High-pass outputs (-3, -6 or -9dB)
• Adjustable Limiter, relative to Max. Output (-3, -6 or -9dB)


DSP44_S Module: Digital Signal Processor fully programmable through an USB port. These are the Processor's main characteristics:
• 4 Inputs/4 Outputs or 2 In/2 Out free route configurable.
• 24 bits/192 kHz 256x Oversampling Converters.
• Output Delay: 0 to 7.1 meters (20.69ms) per channel.
• XOver: Up to 48dB/oct Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley and Bessel.
• EQ: 9 filters per channel (Parametric, Shelving, LP,HP,BP,SB).
• Gain, Mute and Phase inversion per channel.
• RMS Power and Peak Voltage output limiter per channel.
• Real Time operation from USB or front panel configuration.

BASIC Series - Intelligent Power

BASIC - that's meeting the tightest budgets and professional requirements
in reliability, flexibility and sound. Alone or in combination with the other
products of the Bittner portfolio.
The consequent realisation of the Bittner quality standards indicates once
more our understanding of the contracting business. It underlines our philosophy
that cost consciousness has nothing to do with giving up standards. Compromise
is a word unknown to Bittner Audio!
The incorporation of detent potentiometers, clip limiter, protection circuits for
any imaginable situation, as well as a first-class production process using only
highest-quality components made the BASIC series the choice of most contractors.

Certainly more than basic!
